Solitary Fibrous Tumor Of Pleura: A Rare Tumor

Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumor of pleura is rare tumors arising from the submesothelial tissue. They differ from the malignant mesotheliomas in having an indolent course, no association with asbestos exposure and a better prognosis than mesotheliomas. Surgery is curative in case of adequately done wide resection. Inadequate resection causes a significantly shorter survival and a high incidence of local recurrence.
